Does anyone have a way to move entries that have been added to the db to another db instead of deleting them when the delete link is selected. this would be helpful to keep them backed up. ideally once moved to the "back up" db, if you select delete on this page then it would be permanately deleted. maybe this can be included in a future release, musawir??

sure. what is the DB in question? the MySQL or the file based db? For the filebased system, you can simple copy the data.dat (i think.. double check on that file name) to some place for permenant storage, and then delete off the records from the admin portal. For MySQL, I'm sure there plenty of database import utilities. Since this program is a "form generator", spending time on "data administration" doesn't sound right :P I get very little time to work on this these days, and when i do get time, i would like to work on the generator itself rather than data administration features. However, if someone sends me code bit for this purpose, then i will gladly integrate it into the system... after all, this IS an opensource software ... and here i am putting up a one man show :P

Appreciate the reply. Currently I am using the file-based system, I had thought of simply copying the data.dat file like you suggested, but I was looking for more of an automated thing like in my original post, reason is thru out the day different people access the db, and delete post. With my idea in place, all post would automaticaly be moved to a backup db, and I would have a record of it. But anyways, I will try and figure something out. If anybody out there has a way of doing this, please post... And thanks musawir, for the great and easy to use product.
